The key advantage of the new organization is that the Pliant process servicingpliant.cx is not running as 'root' anymore, and is chrooted, so ifhttp://pliant.cx/ web site is compromised, then it will be hard for the hackerto get control of the overall server. So, having http://pliant.cx/ a very opensite that let browse most of it's file should not be a problem anymore.As an exemple, I could service the download files through another less opensite. I can also install scripts that monitor http://pliant.cx/ in order totry to detect any break in.

The other advantage is that I can run other logical servers on the samephysical one, so we can now bring back the documentation server and installit in another logical server, with Michel and Marcus having administratorrights on this second logical server.

What has to be decided now is the new organization for Pliant project.Also I start to have a precise idea of where I want to go, please feel freeto post ideas, wishes and preposals since reorganization time is ... now.

I think it can be interesting, the forward feture permits a convivial external view of a complex organisation.Th dpliantdocs can be a logical server not belonging to root.I think that a part can be open for not core applications with a tree corresponding to "Progam files" of windows.
